NEW POST: addin for word 2003

emolicious — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 12:58:08 GMT

hello all,

this is my very first time here and I am not sure if I am correct here or not, as this place seems to be soooo huge...that I am getting lost already. in case I am wrong, please move my question/discussion to the proper area. Thank you in advance.

I basically looking for help to create an addin for word 2003. The function of that addin is basically to save word documents (basically all other office documents) with a certain format, respecitively naming convention. I do not want the users to have the freedom to type in anything in any order, but they should stick to a certain format for naming the documents.
what I would like to have is an addin, which you click on, a window will popup which is actually divided into several horizontal field with dropdown lists. and to the very right of the popup window, you can just click save and it will save the document with the name u have choosen and type from the dropdown list.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
l Business Unit l Document Type l FREE TITEL l VERSION l DATE (automatically retrieve from today) l SAVE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the popup window should look like that only, where the following fields are:
Business Unit: is a dropdown menue, where the user can choose the busines uni, e.g. IT, Finance, Marketing etc etc..
Document Type: is a dropdown menue, containing predefine types of documents, e.g.: Agende, Minutes, Report etc. etc.
FREE TITEL: is a free field, where the user can actually type in something
Version: might be a drop down, or a free field for typing
Date: will automatically take the date as of today

SAVE, this is only the SAVE BUTTON: after clicking on it, the word document will be saved with the name u have chosen in the popup window. so it could look like that at the end:

ITAGENDADISCUSSION ON LIFE ON MARSV0.120090709.doc

I think that is something similar to save.as functionality, but only customized.

I hope you guys can help me out with coding.
thank you in advance,

regards,

emolicious

I really could get use of the DynamicQuery library...if I could get it to work the way I want :-)

I need to construct a dynamic query runtime based on columns and values that users select runtime.
I have a DataTable with lots of columns and would like to use linq to query the table instead of using DataView and RowFilter (which is what I'm using now).
However, I can't get it to work the way I want. It seems like it can't find any of the columns in the the table when I try to use the Where clause with the query.

Here's the way I use it:

DataTable dt
...
var query = dt.AsEnumerable().AsQueryable();
query = query.Where("Index >= 0 and Index <= 99");

This throws the following exception: "No property or field 'Index' exists in type 'DataRow'".

I have tried to query with other columns as well but get the same exception.
I debugged the DynamicQuery and it seems like it tries to find the members of the DataRow class and not the actual columns in the data row.

So I thought that maybe using the Item property of the DataRow could work, and I tried this:

DataTable dt
...
var query = dt.AsEnumerable().AsQueryable();
query = query.Where("Item@0 >= 0 and Item@0 <= 99", "Index");

But but now I get this exception: "No applicable indexer exists in type 'Object'"

Is there a bug or do I have to do something else in order to get this to work?

Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

I have downloaded and trying to make sense of these applications. I am coming from a Visual Studio 2003/2005 level. Can you please provide a complete sample which works with a test application. I have noticed several good examples here which I can use, but it is taking hours to get one setup to test.

Any help in this matter is appreciated.

NEW POST: Order and Employees

atommaki — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 16:26:36 GMT

I like this good example.
I am using NorthwindMapping in a simple WinForm application. I have dropped a DataGridView onto a form and bound it to NorthwindMapping.Order through a BindigSource control. It works fine, the DataGridView autogenerate the columns.
It generates all the columns of Orders table plus 3 other: Customer, Employee, Shipper. That's fine.

Can anyone explain why can be seen the full name of Employees (TitleOfCurtesy + Firstname + Lastname) in the Employee column?
How can the Customer.CompanyName be displayed in Customer column in the same simple way instead of displaying "NorthwindMapping.Customer"?

CSharp Samples for Visual Studio 2008

Our first release on CodeGallery contains updates to the official C# samples that ship with Visual Studio 2008.

Language Samples Download Link

Please click here or turn to the downloads page to download the samples.

We have created a set of language samples to help you get familiar with various C# language features. They are available in the LanguageSamples folder.

LINQ Samples

We have created four sets of samples for you that are designed to help you learn LINQ quickly, and to act as a reference and guide for those with more advanced skills. A few handy utilities are also included.

Getting Started with LINQ

SampleQueries: This is the most important sample and contains about 500 examples of how to use each of the query operators in LINQ to Objects, LINQ to SQL, LINQ to XML and LINQ to DataSet.
SimpleLinqToObjects: The hello world of the LINQ samples. This shows you how easy it is to do simple queries of in-memory objects using LINQ to Objects.
LinqToNorthwind: A basic example of how to use LINQ To SQL to query a database.
SimpleLinqToXml: Get started using LINQ to XML.
WinFormsDataBinding: Learn how to display LINQ queries with grids in a Windows form. It includes a one to many query example.
XQuery: Another simple LINQ to XML sample query. This sample shows the minimal code necessary to write a LINQ to XML query
LinqToXmlDataBinding: Bind LINQ to XML code to WPF controls.

Advanced Samples

DynamicQuery: Code to create LINQ queries at run time.
Reflector: Use LINQ to right queries against the objects in your code using the Reflection APIs.
RSS: This sample acts as a tiny web server that aggregates several RSS feeds
SimpleLambdas: Several examples of how to write and use lambda expressions.
WebServiceLinqProvider: A sample showing how to create a LINQ provider to query Terraserver, a web service offering geographical data.

Addins and Visualizers

ExpressionTreeVisualizer: Create a visualization of an Expression Tree.
QueryVisualizer: Allows LINQ to SQL developers to see the SQL for their query, and also to see the results of the query in a grid.
PasteXmlAsLinq: A Visual Studio addin that automatically converts XML markup to LINQ to XML code. Note: Addins cannot be compiled or loaded within C# Express.

Libraries or Utilities

Data: Contains XML files and a modified copy of the Northwind database for use by several of the other samples.
ObjectDumper: A utility for writing the output from a LINQ query to the screen in text mode.
NorthwindMapping: Contains the ORM mapping created by the LINQ to SQL designer for the Northwind database that ships with these samples. It is used by DynamicQuery and WinFormsDataBinding.
Whitepapers: The following papers are stored in this directory in Word format:

LINQ Project Overview
LINQ to SQL Overview for C# and VB
